Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals, one of the prominent healthcare providers for the last 40 years, organised the “Crown of Courage” ceremony to honour the cancer survivors and their unyielding strength and resilience in facing challenges. The event was graced by Femina Miss India World 2024 Nikita Porwal, Femina Miss India 2024 - 1st Runner-up- Rekha Pandey, Femina Miss India 2024 - 2nd Runner-up Aayushi Dholakia along with other distinguished dignitaries. The ceremony was organised at Yashoda Medicity, an upcoming quaternary healthcare facility in NCR, and lauded the cancer survivors treated at the Kaushambi facility.
Beating cancer
Cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, due to the huge gap between the requirement and the availability of the resources required for the treatment. To bridge this gap, Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals has continuously worked towards enhancing early detection and diagnosis of cancer to reduce the mortality rate and improve the survival of patients.
Nikita Porwal, the 2024 Miss India, addressed the audience by saying that, “All of you here are a testament to what resilience is; today, we celebrate not only the courage you have shown in your particular journeys.” She also went on to say that the courage that they bring in uplifting others, who have their own battles to fight, is truly inspirational. She also said that she was glad to be part of this event and witness these people’s determination.
Dr. PN. Arora, Chairman & Managing Director, Yashoda Medicity said, “Early detection of cancer is vital as it improves the chance of survival rates and treatment success. At Yashoda, we are dedicated to investing in the best technology and improving access to high-quality healthcare services. Being at the forefront of deploying the latest technologies, we strive to transform the experience of the patients with the help of smart and digital hospital concepts.” He added that, through initiatives like the ‘Crown of Courage’ ceremony, which honours the resilience of cancer survivors, they are committed to creating awareness and encouraging early screening to make a difference to their patients.
Infrastructure and the role of AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Dr. Upasana Arora, Managing Director, Yashoda Medicity, emphasised that “The Crown of Courage ceremony is not simply an event, but in reality, it is a movement intended to honour unsung heroes who embody the spirit of survival and inspire all of us to remain steadfast in the face of adversity. It reinforces the cause of Yashoda to give new life to cancer patients with the help of advanced treatments at the hospital.” She also said that she would like to leave a message for the youth which pointed out that they should not feel that their life is going to end due to cancer, as they are a lot of treatments available in India. They can be cured with compassion and support of the doctors and Yashoda’s infrastructure.
Yashoda Medicity offers cutting-edge technologies not only for cancer but also for other departments to cure their patients. Their Cancer Care Institute is well-equipped with the latest Elekta—MR Linac, Varian-EDGE, and ETHOS Linac.
